Simon - good so far, but I've only used it on 4 rides. Takes a while to get it set up but once I sorted the cable tension it has worked without a problem. I wouldn't ride without one now - £75 delivered seems right, no way would I be spending £200 on a Reverb etc. There is a bit of play side to side but not noticeable once you are riding. My main problem was the cable routing, now sorted via super strong velcro!

whats the 150 for like in Surrey hills? Debating this or XC. Wondering of the fork is too long and lose feel for trail. I've only ever ridden 100 up front and 120 back so no idea what it will be like. What did you ride before? So tempted to get one and keep going back and forth in mind between this and the xc

150mm is fine - probably overkill for Surrey but I have bigger trips planned! The Talas can be set at 120mm, same as my Cube LTD hardtail or completely locked out for going upwards. The rear shock also has pro-pedal so it is a proper do-it-all bike. I was going to get the XC but for the slightly lighter weight I couldn't see the point, the AM climbs so well that I'm not finding it much different to my HT - just a lot more fun downwards!

5.8" - got the small (16.5") with a 50mm stem. Perfect. I reckon it is big enough for up to 5.10" but obviously it's each to their own. My Cube is a 16" small and the Canyon wheelbase is quite a lot bigger, but they are both spot on for me in terms of cockpit length and standover.

Cheers for reply tizzzzle. Looks awesome. Sprint well and good feel on the flat too? Thinking I must get one these soon. Thinking surrey hills, Welsh Trail centres and a bit of alps action in summer...

Yep - Goes very well on the flat after changing the stock tyres; HUGE 2.4 Fat Alberts and Nobby Nics were the one thing I couldn't get on with on my first ride(the Germans seem to love em tho - I had Schwalbes on my Cube to begin with too). Now rolling on on 2.35 Minions and the difference is amazing.

Hey tizzzle, v nice, I went for same green, looks great in the flesh. I've left my 2.4s on, but you've gut me thinking now, I have a set of old minions from my old bike so think I'll have give it a go now.

Thanks chaps, I'm chuffed with it so far and pleased I took the plunge. Its a fair amount to spend on something you can't even see in the flesh first!
Spudly - try the minions, made a big difference to me yesterday.

Nice bike, I'm about to order one myself but pay the £160 for the Rock Shox Reverb, seems a fair price. Thought about the AM 9 but is it really worth an extra £600. Think I will have to get rid of the Magura's though and change for a set of Shimano Brakes. Same price but much better.

Got one of these recently but went for the 9.0X. Fantastic bike with an incredible spec. Have to say that bike looks great in that colour scheme.

Only problem I've had with mine is a strange effect on the paint on the top tube. Towards the rear of the black area on yours in the picture, the paint has gone like snakeskin and feels all rough. Credit to Canyon as they're collecting the frame and replacing it FOC.

Picked up an AM 7.0, and added the dropper at a cost of £150 extra.
Im more of a Shimano man, and fancied the Magura brakes, so decided to save myself a few quid with the 7 instead of the 8.
Astounding bike for the money. XT running gear with Talas forks, and a good set of all mountain DT swiss wheels.
Bike was perfectly set up and delivered a week ahead of schedule.
Ive been out quite a few times now, and have the size of it.
It handles superbly well at high speed descents, and climbs quite well too.
The tyres supplied are massive, which makes climbing a bit more difficult, but the bigger footprint allows you to run at a slightly higher pressure without losing too much grip on the way back down.

Overall an imense machine, ideal for hard descending, but very easy to live with on longer days in the saddle. You'll not get better value for money
